Eurovision 2017: Jury members from each country revealed

The EBU has released the list of all the jury members that – together – will decide 50 percent of the results of the Eurovision Song Contest. Out of the 42 participating countries, we see many former participants listed as jury this year.

Each national jury is made up of five music industry professionals who will evaluate each entry. The jury members are asked to judge the vocal capacity of the singer, the performance on-stage, the composition and originality of the song and the overall impression of the act. Jurors rank all entries, except their own country’s contribution, in order.

Jury voting traditionally takes place during the Dress Rehearsal in the evening prior to each live show. The rehearsal is broadcast to the juries via satellite and their individual voting results are to be kept secret until after the Grand Final.

On the list are many former participants at the Eurovision Song Contest, like Olta Boka (Albania 2008), Zoë Straub (Austria 2016), Getter Jaani (Estonia 2011), Nicole (Germany 1982), Tal Soldak (Israel 2001), Nelly Ciobanu (Moldova 2009), Magdalena Tul (Poland 2011), Mihai (Romania 2006), David Civera (Spain 2001), Daniela Simons (Switzerland 1986) and others.
